Samantha Harris, the former co-host of Dancing With The Stars, will undergo surgery for a double mastectomy to treat breast cancer. According to an interview she gave People, she noticed a lump last fall. Before she did the self-examination she was given a clean bill of health after a mammogram turned up nothing. A few months after noticing the lumps she saw a cancer specialist who told her the best option was a double mastectomy. Samantha is married with two girls. I hope everything turns out well for her. She says that when she was told she had breast cancer that it was like an elephant was on her chest. The surgery is set to take place later this month.

I'm sure glad her doctors acted quickly. Mastectomies are drastic, but they can save one's life. My mother had it done in the 1960s and lived into her 90s. (and died of stroke-related causes, not cancer).

When you have implants your breasts can't be squeezed tight enough during a mammogram. Often lumps are missed for that reason. Smaller breasted women also have lumps picked up faster than larger breasted women. Wishing her well.
